Who Said So?
Matt. 28:16-20
Introduction: We are entering a period in which the revolution taking place in biology will exceed that experienced in physics.
"The information content of a human chromosome corresponds to about 500 million words. If there are about 300 words on an ordinary page of printed type, this corresponds to about 2 million pages.
If a typical book contains 500 such pages, the information content of a single chromosome corresponds to some 4,000 volumes." Who said so? Biological-astronomer and teller of extra-terrestrial possibili­ties, Carl, Sagan of Cornell.
[The modern age] has entered unchartered terrain: a world stiff with the ultimate weapons, the age of outer space, the time of poisoning of our physical sources of life. No one's experience has prepared any of us for any of this. One knows only that the answers lie in inner space, terra firma and inner man. We have solved the compo­sition of a lunar crater but we do not really grasp the inner mind of the_Communist commissar or the heart of a delinquent child.... [One's] mind is the final, unlocked riddle." Who said so? Retired, highly respected CBS correspondent Eric Severeid.
I. Who says what is important to most of us.
A. The media lures us to read and listen to hear who said what.
1. The curiosity of "what they're saying" is enticing and seduces us into giving up much time. Carl Sagan is among those who are saying that with the overwhelming possibilities found in the potential of one of our chromosomes, some 4,000 volumes of information, we ought to begin to experience our potential diversity or we will destroy ourselves. We are a walking library of the history of the species and we have not begun to read!
2. Eric Severeid's life spans the depression years, World War II, years of suffering with a mentally ill wife, and con­cludes that our mind is "the final, unlocked riddle." Sagan
brings the experience of scientific development urging us to take bold steps into the unknown. Severied urges greater introspection into the meaning of reality reflected in his­tory. We are invited to take our choice.
